The last day of the year is here, and we’re thankful for your support of Texas history and TSHA in 2019. All of us at the Association wish you a safe and happy new year.

As a reminder, today (December 31) is the last day to make a 100% tax-deductible donation for 2019. Your support before the end of the year will help close our funding gap for 2020 and ensure the history of Texas is shared in the new year and beyond.

Thank you again for helping make 2019 a successful year. Let’s work together to make 2020 an even better one for Texas history.
